In this week's Off the Cuff with Mish & Chris podcast, Chris and Mish zero in on:

Fuzzy Math

Why are we hearing a steady drumbeat of upbeat economic news, when looking beneath the surface into the hard data shows exactly the opposite?

Malincentives

The US is embracing policies that favor corporations over individuals and encourages them to send their jobs and cash overseas. How did we get here?

Greek drama

Chris and Mish take out their calculators this week and try to make sense of increasingly nonsensical behavior by our governments. Warning: Regardless whether or not you're a math person, this week's podcast is sure to raise your blood pressure. So take an aspirin before listening.
